Unit 1B- Cellular Transport, Photsyn & Respiration Flashcards
Glycolysis
anaerobic process in which glucose is split into two molecules of pyruvic acid
fermentation
anaerobic process in which either lactic acid or alcohol is produced
Krebs cycle
process in aerobic respiration that takes place in the matrix of the mitochondria; 2 ATP, NADH, FADH2, and CO2 are produced; AKA citric acid cycle
chlorophyll
green pigment that captures the suns energy
stroma
fluid portion of the chlorplast
light dependent reactions
AKA light reactions; reactions in photosynthesis that split a molecule of water into H+ and oxygen; takes place on the thylakoid membrane
light independent reactions
AKA dark reactions and Calvin cycle; reactions in photosynthesis in which carbon dioxide enters and makes glucose; takes place in the stroma
ATP synthase
enzyme used in making ATP
electron transport chain
process in aerobic respiration that hydrogen ions give up their electrons to help build ATP; takes place on the cristae of the mitochondria; produces 32 ATP
photosystem
light collecting unit of the chloroplast
thylakoid membrane
part of the chloroplast where the light reactions take place
active transport
transport of materials across a membrane from low to high; requires energy (ATP); examples - endocytosis and exocytosis
passive transport
transport of material across a membrane from high to low; does not require energy; examples- diffusion, osmosis, and facilitated diffusion
lipid bilayer
main component of the plasma (cell) membrane
cytoplasmic streaming
movement of the cytoplasm within a cell
